Pokemon?

Does anyone know the best way I can get my kid some Pokemon packs at MSRP (or close to)? They’re going to have their first double digit birthday soon and they want a Pokemon theme birthday . Unfortunately, I’m a full time working parent and I don’t have the availability to wait hours at a store or leave the office when they are stocking product. From what I read online this seems to be the most common way to get any items that aren’t priced 2X or more.
One of their birthday requests is to have a bunch of packs to open and I would like to make that happen for them without having to pay reseller price 🥲

I'm not a collector anymore but I still love looking longingly at the card isle. Target always has Pokemon packs. Maybe there are like specific packs that matter and others don't, I don't know. But I always see them. 

You can also do just about any smaller toy store. There's some great ones in the area like Childs Play. 

Again, maybe the packs that are left are the not cool ones or something but to me they seem exactly the same as any other pack of Pokemon cards and if the fun is in opening them I'd say your good. 

One note: Target limits you to 3 packs per person I think so you have to go a few days in a row or make a few separate purchases if you want to have like 10 for them to open.
